PREFACE 

TO THE AMERICAN EDITION 



-'^/^»»*><^^^^^^*^/^A^>^~- 



WiLL the assertion appear paradoxical to our readers 
that the encouragement of games of skill tends to the 
suppression of vice ? Draughts, Chess, and their 
kindred games, can never, for a long time, furnish 
food for the gaming-table. He who seeks to gratify 
the lowest passion of the human breast, will not wish 
to hazard his property in a contest depending alone 
upon superior skill ; where, his own strength, and that 
of his adversary, having been once satisfactorily tested, 
the issue remains no longer doubtful. The Game of 
Draughts has, it is true, been occasionally perverted 
from its proper use. But the abuse of a thing forms 
no argument against its tise; and, while we regret 
that this game has ever, in any degree, been the 
occasion of evil, we can but think that, were it more 
generally introduced into the social circle, it would, 
m some measure at least, take the place of those 



10 PREFACE. 

games of chance, which are scarce ever played with- 
out a wager. The young, especially, must have some 
rational means of recreation, and anything that can 
render the fireside pleasant, will prevent their seeking 
abroad the society of the vicious. 

But it is not alone because this game furnishes an 
agreeable and harmless recreation, that we are desirous 
of its more general introduction into the social circle. 
The Game of Draughts can boast of advantages su- 
perior to that of mere amusement. The application 
of the mental powers, the quickening of the perceptive 
faculties, and the prompt calculation of chances, are 
not the least of its benefits. Whatever improves the 
mind, at the same time that it affords entertainment, 
is justly classed in the most refined and elevated circle 
of amusements. And nothing, save the still more 
intellectual game of Chess, can equal this species of 
scientific recreation, which we are happy to say is the 
most popular of all games of science in this country. 
In more than one respect does it surpass even its more 
powerful rival. A person of ordinary mental powers 
can, by a few hours of careful study, master its prin- 
ciples, while a few minutes of prompt action are 
sufficient to decide the victory. A country, then, 
where republican institutions prevail — where all classes 
of the community are engaged in the busy pursuits of 
life, and the leisure of the rich is not compensated by 
the or-.HStant toil of the poor — furnishes a soil much 



PREFACE. IX 

more congenial to this than to a more difficult and 
abstruse species of amusement. Far be it from us to 
attempt to depreciate the most noble of all games, but 
we can but think that the game of Draughts is more 
suited to our wants than even the game of Chess. 
The latter is unequalled for its discipline of the mind, 
but we may hazard the assertion, that American citi- 
zens generally can never become eminent in a species 
of contest, requiring so much time for the attainment 
of its principles, as well as for a trial of skill. 

On the Game of Drau2;hts not a single work has 
ever been published in America. While almost every 
country of the Old World can boast of several fine 
volumes upon the subject, we are entirely silent. 
How are we to account for this .'' Is it because there 
are not eminent players among us } We may go 
through the length and breadth of the land, and we 
can scarcely meet with a child that is not acquainted 
with its rudiments. To fill this unaccountable chasm 
in our literature, is the object of the re-publication of 
the present volume. It was published at the beginning 
of the present century, by Joshua Sturges — one of the - 
most eminent players of this game that ever lived. 
The work was nearly out of print when it was re-pub- 
lished in London, about ten years since, by George 
Walker. So great has been the demand that, at the 
present time, scarce a copy remains in the book stores 



12 PREFACE. 

of England, and only about half a dozen copies are 
known as being owned in America. 

The game, it is true, is played to a considerable 
extent in this country, but we are desirous of its being 
still more generally and more skilfully played, and if 
the re-publication of this volume, the best ever written 
in any language upon the subject, shall contribute to 
such a result, our fullest desires will be realized.

PREFACE 

TO THE ENGLISH EDITION 



-''|^(V^^#.fsf^^#^*s/^*vs^^^- 



In bringing forward a new edition of Sturges' cele- 
brated Treatise on the Game of Draughts, I must 
claim my privilege, as Editor, to hazard certain pre- 
liminary observations. The work has been for many 
years out of print ; and, although the original impres- 
sion comprised an unusually large number of copies, 
has become so extremely rare of occurrence, that, 
latterly, it can only be said to have been attainable by 
the few to whom cost is a consideration foreign to the 
question of possession. 

The origin of the Game of Draughts appears to be 
lost, like that of Chess, in the depths of past ages ; 
while we find that with various unimportant modifica- 
tions, the game has been practised firom almost time 
immemorial in the chief countries of Europe. Played 
on the same board as Chess, it would seem, from its 
comparative simplicity, to be the progenitor of that 



14 PREFACE. 

more difficult and abstruse recreation ; and, both these 
sports probably sprang, in common with the heroic 
exercises of the Greeks and Scandinavians, from the 
perpetual state of war in which every early nation was 
so barbarously engaged. 

Of the several varieties of Draughts, the two prin- 
cipal are — English Draughts, (I thus designate the 
common game exemplified in the work before us,) 
and — Pohsh Draughts. The latter was only invented 
during the last century, and is as yet but Httle known 
here ; though on the Continent it has nearly superseded 
the other game. It must -be admitted that Polish 
Draughts is the finer, as being the more complicated, of 
the two varieties. The wider range of the field — (the 
board exhibiting a hundred squares, instead of sixty- 
four;) — the increased number of combatants — (twenty 
on each side, instead of twelve) — as well as the greater 
power given to the men under particular circumstances : 
— all these advantages help to approximate Polish 
Draughts more closely than its rival, to the game of all 
games — Chess. 

In ranking, then, the chief sports of science accord- 
ing to their relative degrees of merit, I give the first 
place to Chess — the second to Polish Draughts — and 
the third to our own game of English Draughts. By 
thus admitting its slight inferiority, do we in the re- 
motest degree detract from the legitimate merits of 
this beautiful recreation ^ — I tliink not. The extreme 



PREFACE. 15 

simplicity of English Draughts, and the consequent 
certainty, that, in a few hours, considerable knowledge 
of its rudiments may be acquired, afford a high recom- 
mendation to such persons as have not leisure to devote 
to the attainment of more difficult exercises ; and I 
cannot follow the examples of those authors who by 
constantly pouring the most exaggerated praises upon 
the subject they write of, — ^whatever that subject may 
happen to be, — produce something too like a feeling of 
strong contempt, in the minds of their better informed 
readers. 

With regard to the literature of Draughts, there are 
a number of early works in foreign languages ; but of 
unequal and inferior merit. Mallet* is the only author 
among the ancients at all worthy of notice. In our 
own country we have had writers besides Sturges, but 
with the exception of Payne| — and perhaps Painter J — 
they are only fit for a quiet slumber in Christopher 
North's Balaam-box. The whole of Payne's excellent 
book is incorporated by Sturges in this treatise ; thus 
furnishing the text, on which our author has so happily 
and copiously dilated. There is also a good pocket

this part of my subject without once more adverting to 
Pohsh Draughts ; a game I am anxious to see generally 
played in England. The only books relating to it, in 
our language, are compilations by Pohlman and Twiss ,1 
but they neither of them offer much information respect- 
ing its rudiments or constitution. Both Holland and 
Germany can boast of several large volumes on Polish 
Draughts ; while France is, above all other countries, 
rich in works not very difficult to be procured ; and the 
leading names of which I append, as a just tribute to 
this delightful source of scientific amusement. J

PREFACE. 17 

If ever man had an especial claim to write a book on 
the game of Draughts — it was Joshua Sturges. The 
chief leisure of his life had been devoted to the pursuit 
in which he so excelled. His genius for the game, and 
his sincere enthusiasm on the subject, could only be 
equalled by the indefatigable patience, with which, in 
the work before us, he has unravelled the most com- 
plicated difficulties, and traced them through their 
remotest ramifications. The highest contemporary 
evidence of the esteem in which Sturges was held as 
a Draught-player, is afforded in the list of subscribers 
affixed to the original edition of this work.* We 
there find that the copies subscribed for, previous to 
publication, exceeded five hundred ; a large number, 
as many a poor author would bear good witness. This 
catalogue of subscribers rejoices, too, in the names of 
many of the magnates of the land. Bishops, Lords, 
and others, headed by the Prince of Wales, afterwards 
George IV. It may fairly be asked why similar en- 
courgement is not given to games of science.'* — and 
whether the most effective Temperance Societies would 
not be cheap Literary Institutions, in which the prac- 
tice of Chess and Draughts might form a prominent 
feature ? 

Respecting the part I have myself taken in this little

volume, a few words remain to be said. In the original 
edition, the introductory matter was meagre and incom- 
plete ; it will here be found extended and improved, 
I have also made a better arrangement of the immense 
mass of variations, branching so extensively from the 
different openings ; without omitting a single game or 
move. To do this, I found it necessary to subdivide 
some of the more complex games, and have thus im- 
portantly simplified that which many learners may still, 
I fear, look upon as a task sufficiently laborious. In 
the former edition, however, Game 4 displayed no less 
than thirty-eight collateral modes of play ; — Game 14 
had thirty-three, — Game 21, forty, — ^while Game 31 
presented fifty-one different variations ; thus offering a 
firont, from the attack of which, the boldest student 
must have shrunk dismayed. I believe no further 
" clearings " could have been attempted, without in- 
creasing the book to a size incompatible with large 
circulation. One improvement consists in displaying 
the hundred-and-fifty critical situations on diagrams ; 
instead of leaving them, as printed by Sturges, to be 
set up on the Draught-board from description only. 
This collection of positions will be found highly in- 
teresting *, and the playing through them alone, which 
may now be done merely fi:om the diagram, without 
the use of board or men, — will tend much to the 
profit, as well as amusement, of the studious amateur. 
Finally, in the first edition, our "recueil" comprised 



PREFACE. 19 

but one-hundred-and-forty, instead of one-hundred-and- 
fifty critical situations as here given. This addition 
was made by Sturges himself, and he also replaced a 
number of the positions, with others of a higher 
character, in consequence of discovering some defects 
in the original selection. Had our author lived to 
superintend the publication of a second edition, the 
present is the exact shape which these ingenious 
problems were intended to assume.

To ascertain, distinctly, consequences in the'ir causes — 
to calculate with promptitude the result of intricate 
variety — to elude by vigilant caution the snares of 
stratagem ; are lessons which the game of Draughts 
strongly inculcates and uniformly explains. While, 
thus, the sport on one hand affords the means of in- 
tellectual improvement ; on the other, it banishes 
every temptation to moral depravity. It guards sim- 
plicity from the lures of deceit, and prevents cunning 
from preying on credulity : for where superior skill 
alone commands success, the ignorant are not mad 
enough to hazard their fortunes in a contest, where 
loss is certain, and gain impossible. Considering the 
game as an amusement, it cannot be denied that it 
tends to improve those faculties of the mind, which 
are eminently useful in every condition of life ; and 
may therefore be made the school of wisdom, but 



22 PREI'ACE. 

cannot, like the gaming-table of chance, become the 
nursery of vice. 

These observations on the character of the game 
of Draughts, are addressed to those fastidious critics 
who disrelish, without distinction, every description 
of play ; and who doubt the propriety of publishing 
any book whatever, on the subject of a game. 

There is, however, another, and that, too, a numerous 
class of readers, who, readily acknowledging the inno- 
cent nature of the undertaking, will be only solicitous 
to inquire into the merits of its execution. 

On this head, though the author cannot boast of 
perfection, he can safely afl&rm, that every aid has 
been resorted to, which long experience, — intense 
study, — and the assistance of the most celebrated 
players could suggest, to render it as perfect as 
possible. 

Had Mr. Payne's book been formed on a plan, 
sufficiently enlarged, to enable the student to acquire 
a competent share of skill in the science, this work 
would never have made its appearance. The fact, 
however, is, that whoever consults that volume, will 
find it much too general to guide the judgment through 
that vast complexity of movements common to the 
game ; or to assist in extricating the player from those 
embarrassing difficulties in which particular situations 
must frequently involve him. 

Several of that author's games required correction, 



PREFACE. 23 

and are here, as far as they go, displayed in their 
amended state ; together with the addition of nume- 
rous ramifications, to diversify the positions, — vary the 
scale, — and enlarge the plan. 

Wh,at is here advanced, is not intended to detract 
from the merits of any predecessor. Something like 
an apology seemed to he required, for the publication 
of a new work on the game of Draughts, and truth 
supplied the author with no other, than what is here 
offered to a liberal and candid public. 

But, surely, when it is considered that knowledge is 
the result of progressive improvement, it can be no 
proof of excessive self-complacency, to suppose that 
we have advanced a little nearer to perfection, than 
those who have gone so long before us in the study of 
the same art. 

At any rate, there is one original and important 
advantage, which the following work possesses over 
that of Mr. Payne ; it contains, at least, five hundred 
examples more than his, embracing the most critical 
situations which the game can produce, and arranged 
in so clear a manner as to be intelligible to any learner, 
however unskilled in the play. 

In short, the author entertains a hope, that the 
numerous improvements he has introduced, will, in 
the estimation of judges, raise the Game of Draughts 
in rank and consideration equal to that of Chess ; and 
that whatever fate his book may experience from the 



24 PREFACE. 

surly critic, the liberal student will at least allow, that 
he has increased the number of his enjojrments, by 
enlarging the circle of innocent and useful amuse- 
ment.

^STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 



INTRODUCTION. 

The game of Draughts is played by two persons upon 
a board of sixty-four squares, colored alternately Black 
and White, or any other two opposite colors. The 
board is placed with an upper white corner on the 
light hand. 

Each player has twelve men ; which, on beginning 
the game, are placed on the first three lines of white 
squares. The following diagrams represent the board 
2nd men in their original position ; and also the mode 
in which the squares are supposed to be numbered. 
It will be seen that, throughout this work, the upper 
half of the board is occupied by the twelve Black men, 
and the lower half by their antagonists, the White.

26 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 

The men being placed, the game is begun by each 
player moving alternately one of his men, along the 
white diagonal on which they are first posted. The 
men can only move forward, miless they have attained 
the extreme line of the board ; on which they become 
kings, and can move either forward or backward. The 
men take in the direction they move, by leaping over 
the hostile piece, which is removed firom off the board, 
and the man so taking another is placed on the square 
beyond. To explain this by practical illustration, let 
us begin by placing the draughts in their original 
position. You will now observe that if Black should 
move first, he can only move one of the men placed on 
9, 10, 11, or 12. — Supposing him then to play the man 
from 11 to 15, and White answering this move by 
playing his piece fi-om 22 to 18, Black can take White 
by leaping his man firom 15 to 22, and removing the 
captured piece off the board. Should Black not take in 
the above position, but move in another direction, — for 
instance, firom 12 to 16, he is liable to be huffed ; that 
is. White may remove the man with which Black should 
have taken, from the board, as a penalty for not taking ; 
for, at Draughts, you have not the option of refusing to 
take, as at Chess ; but must always take when you can, 
whatever the consequences may be. The player who 
possesses the power of huffing his adversary has also 
the option of insisting on his taking, instead of standing 
the huff. When one party huffs another, he does not 



STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 27 

replace that party's move before he does so ; but simply 
removes the man huffed, from off the board, and then 
plays his own move. 

When either of the men reaches one of the extreme 
squares of the board, he is made a king, by having 
another piece put on, which is called crowning him. 
The king can move or take both forward or backward ; 
keeping, of course, on the white diagonals. Both the 
king and common man can take any number of pieces 
at once which may be " en prise^^ (liable to be taken,) 
at one move, and both are equally liable to be huffed. 
I dwell the less on the elementary part of the science, 
as the playing through one game here given, from the 
numbers, will do more in the way of teaching the 
rudiments of Draughts, than the most elaborate theo- 
retical explanation 

The game is won by him who can first succeed in 
capturing, or blocking up, all his adversary's men, so 
that he has nothing left to move ; but when the pieces 
are so reduced that each player has but a very small 
degree of force remaining ; and, being equal in numbers, 
neither can hope to make any decided impression on his 
antagonist, the game is relinquished as drawn. It is 
)bvious that were this not the case, and both parties 
having one or two kings, the game might be prolonged 
all night, with the same hopeless chance of natural 
termination, as at the first moment of the pieces being 
resolved into the position in question. I have already 



28 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 

shown you that when a man reaches one of the squares 
on the extreme line of the board, he is crowned and 
becomes a king ; but there is another point relative to 
this, which it is necessary to understand. The man, 
thus reaching one of the extreme squares, finishes the 
move on being made a king, and cannot take any piece 
which may be "ew prise. ''^ To exemplify this, place a 
White man on 11 , and Black men on 7 and 6 : — White, 
having the move, takes the man and demands that his 
own man should be crowned ; but, he cannot take th6 
man on 6 at the same move ; which he could do were 
his piece a king when it made the first capture. 

In particular situations, to have the move on your 
side, is a decisive advantage. This is a matter little 
understood by ordinary players, but its importance will 
fully appear by studying the critical situations. To 
have the move, signifies your occupying that position 
on the board which will eventually enable you to force 
your adversary into a confined situation, and which d,t 
the end of the game, secures to yourself the last move. 
It must, however, be observed, that where your men 
are in a confined state, the move is not only of no use to 
you, but, for that very reason, may occasion the loss of 
the game. To know in any particular situation whether 
you have the move, you must number the men atid the 
squares, and if the men are even and the squares odd, 
or the squares even and the men odd, you have the 
move. With even men and even squares, or odd men 



STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 29 

and odd squares, you have not the move. This will be 
best explained by an example : Look, then, at the 8th 
critical situation, where White plays first ; there the 
adverse men are even, two to two ; but the White 
squares, being five in number, are odd. The squares 
may be thus reckoned — from 26, a White king, to 28, 
a Black king, are three, viz. 31, 27, and 24 — The 
White squares between 32, a White man, and 19, a 
Black man, are two, viz. 27 and 23. You may reckon 
more v/ays than one, but reckon which way you will, 
the squares will still be found odd, and therefore, White, 
so situated, has the move. When you have not the 
move, you must endeavor to procure it by giving man 
for man, a mode of play fully and successfully exem- 
plified in this work. 

It is a mistaken notion that any advantage is derived 
from playing first. It is admitted, that he who plays 
first has not the move, the men and squares being then 
both even ; but, though he who plays second has the 
move, it can be of no service to him in that stage of the 
game. The truth is, that when the combatants con- 
tinue giving man for man, the move will alternately 
belong to the one and the other. The first player will 
have it at odd men, at 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1 ; the second 
player will have it at even men, at 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 
2 ; and therefore some error must be conunitted, on one 
side or the other, before the move can be forced out of 
that direction. 



30 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 

There is another mode which will, in less time than 
reckoning the squares, enable you to see who has the 
move. For instance, if 3'ou wish to know, whether 
any one man of your's has the move of any one man of 
your adversary's, examine the situation of both, and if 
you find a Black square on the right angle, under his 
man, you have the move : — For example, you are to 
play first, and your White man is on 30, when your 
adversary's Black man is on 3 — In this situation, you 
will find the right angle in a Black square between 31 
and 32, immediately under 3, and therefore you have 
the move. This Rule will apply to any number of 
men, and holds true in every case. 

To play over the games in this work, number the 
White squares on your draught-board from 1 to 32, and 
observe that the Blaclc pieces always occupy the first 
twelve squares. Tlie abbreviations are so ob\'ious, that 
they cannot need explanation; — ^as B. for Black, W. for 
White, Var. for Variation, &c. Occasionally, stars are 
introduced, to point out the move causing the loss of 
the game. The learner begins with the first game, and 
finding the leading move to be 11 . 15 (that is, fi:om 11 
to 15,) knows that Black begins the game. The second 
move 22 . 18 belongs to White, and the game is thus 
played out ; each party mo\dng alternately. After 
finishing the game, the player proceeds to examine the 
variations to which he is referred by the letters and 
other directions. The numerous variations on some 



STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 31 

particular games, ana the consequent necessity each 
time of going through the leading moves up to the 
point at which the variation arises, will, prohably, at 
first, occasion some little fatigue ; but this will be soon 
forgotten in the speedy and decided improvement found 
to be derived from this course of study. One of the 
minor advantages resulting from a numerous body of 
variations is, that, in tracing them out, the leading 
moves are so frequently repeated that they become 
indelibly fixed in the mind of the player ; who thus 
remembers which moves are to be shunned as danger- 
ous if not ruinous, and which moves are to be adopted 
as equally sound and scientific. 

As to general advice relative to draught-playing, next 
to nothing can be learnt from a volume of such instruc- 
tion. You should bear in mind, that it is generally 
better to keep your men in the middle of the board, 
than to play them to the side squares, — as, in the 
latter case, one half of their power is curtailed. If you 
are a chess-player, you will do well to compare the 
draughts in their march and mode of manoeuvring with 
the Pawns at Chess ; which, as well as the Bishops, or 
other pieces, are seldom so strong on the side squares 
as in the centre of the board. Accustom yourself to 
play slowly at first, and, if a beginner, prefer playing 
with those who will agree to allow an unconditional 
time for the consideration of a difficult position, to 
those who rigidly exact the observance of the strict law. 



32 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 

Never touch a man without moving it, and do not 
permit the loss of a few games to ruffle your temper, 
but rather let continued defeat act as an incentive to 
greater efforts both of study and practice. When one 
player is decidedly stronger than another, he should 
give odds to make the game equally interesting to both 
parties. There must be a great disparity indeed if he 
can give a man, but it is very conunon to give one 
man in a rubber of three games ; that is, in one of the 
three games, the superior player engages to play with 
only 11 men instead of 12. Another description of 
odds consists in giving the drawn games ; that is, the 
superior player allows the weaker party to reckon as 
won, all games he draws. Never play with a better 
player without offering to take such odds as he may 
choose to give. If you find yourself, on the other 
hand, so superior to your adversary, that you feel no 
amusement in playing even — offer him odds, and 
should he refuse, cease playing with him unless he 
will play for a stake ; the losing which, for a few 
games in succession, will soon bring him to his senses, 
and make him willing to receive the odds you offer. 
Follow the rules of the game most rigorously, and 
compel your antagonist to do the same ; without which, 
Draughts are mere child's play. If you want to im- 
prove, play with better players, in preference to such 
as you can beat ; and take every opportunity of looking 
on when fine players are engaged. Never touch the 



STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 33 

squares of the board with your finger, as jou see some 
men do, from the supposition that it assists their powers 
of calculation, and accustom yourself to play your move 
ofF-hand when you have once made up j^our mind ; 
without hovering with your fingers over the board for 
a couple of minutes, to the great annoyance of the 
lookers-on. While you play, do not fall into the 
vulgar habit of incessantly chattering nonsense ; and 
show no impatience at your adversary, should he be a 
little slow. Finally, bear in mind what may well be 
termed the three golden rules to be observed in playing 
games of calculation : — Firstly, to avoid all boasting 
and loud talking about your sldll — Secondly, to lose 
with good temper — and. Thirdly, to win with silence 
and modesty

LAWS OF THE GAME. 



1 . The first move of each game is to be taken by the 
players in turn, whether the game be won or drawn. 
For the move, in the first game at each sitting, the 
players must draw lots, as they must for the men, which 
are, however, to be changed every game, so that each 
player shall use the black and white alternately. 

2. You must not point over the board with your 
finger, nor do any thing which may interrupt your 
adversary's full and continued view of the game. 

3. At any part of the game you may adjust the men 
properly on the squares ; but after they are so placed, 
if you touch a man, it being your turn to play, you 
must play him in one direction or other ; if, however, 
you move a man so far as to be in any part visibly over 
the angle separating the squares you are playing from 
or to, that move must be completed. No penalty is 
attached to your touching any man which cannot be 
played. 

4. In the case of your standing the huff, it is op- 
tional on the part of your adversary, to take your man 
or king, or to compel you to take that piece or pieces 



36 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 

of his, which you omitted by the huff. (The necessity 
of this law is evident, when the young player is shown 
that it is not unusual to sacrifice two or three men in 
succession, for the poAver of making some decisive 
" coup.'''' Were this law different, the player might take 
the first man so offered, and on the second's being placed 
"ewjarwe," might refuse to capture, and thus spoil the 
beauty of the game, (which consists in the brilliant 
results arising from scientific calculation,) by quietly 
standing the huff.) — The act of huffing is not reckoned 
as a move. 

5. If, when it is your turn to play, you delay moving 
above three minutes, your adversary may require you 
to play ; and should you not move within five minutes 
after being so called upon, you lose the game ; which 
your adversary is adjudged to have won, through your 
improper delay. 

6. When you are in a situation to take two different 
ways, you may take which w^ay you like ; without 
regard (as in Polish Draughts) to the one capture 
comprising greater force than the other. For example, 
if one man is ^'' en prise*'' oneway, and two another, 
you may take either the one or the two, as jou like. 

7. During the game, neither party can leave the 
room without mutual agreement ; or the party so leav- 
ino;, forfeits the game. 

8. When, at the end of the game, a small degree of 
force alone remains, the player appearing the stronger, 



STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 37 

may be required to win the game in a certain number 
of moves ; and, if he cannot do this, the game must be 
abandoned as drawn. Suppose that three Black kings 
and one White king were the only pieces remaining on 
the board ; the White insists that his adversary shall 
win or relinquish the game as drawn, after forty moves 
have been played by each player. — The moves to be 
computed from that point at Avhich notice was given. 
If two kings remain opposed to one king only, the 
moves must not exceed twenty on each side. In giving 
the odds of the drawn games, the game must, however, 
be played to a more advanced state than required in 
any other case. When in such a game the situations 
become so equal that no advantage can be taken, he 
who gives the draws, shall not occasion any unneces- 
sary delay by uselessly repeating the same manoeuvres ; 
but shall force his adversary out of his strong position, 
or lose the game through its being declared drawn. 

9. By-standers are forbidden to make any remarks 
whatever, relative to the game, until that game shall be 
played out. Should the players be contending for a 
bet or stake, and a spectator say any thing that can be 
construed into the slightest approach to warning or inti- 
mation, that spectator shall pay all bets pending on the 
losing side, should that side win which has received the 
intimation. 

10. Should any dispute occur between the players, 
the question must be referred to a third party ; whose 



38 STURGES ON DRAUGHTS. 

decision shall be considered final. Of course should a 
player commit any breach of the laws, and refuse to 
submit to the penalty, his adversary is justified in claim- 
ing the game without playing it out. 

11. Respecting a false move, such as giving a com- 
mon man the move of a king, or any other impropriety 
of the same sort, the law varies in different countries 
as to the penalty to be exacted by the opposite party. 
We cannot but suppose that such mistakes are uninten- 
tional, and consider it sufficient penalty that in all such 
cases the piece touched must be moved to whichever 
square the adversary chooses ; or, he has the option 
of allowing the false move to stand, if more to his 
advantage. Should the piece be unable to move at 
all, that part of the penalty cannot be inflicted.

STURGES'S 

CELEBRATED COLLECTION OF 

150 CRITICAL POSITIONS, 

TO BE WON OR DRAWN BY SCIENTIFIC PLAY.* 



No. 1. White to move and win. 




This situation occurs in a great 
number of Games, and ought to 
be well understood. 



No. 2. White to move and ivin. 



ana 




o 



o 




No. 3. White to move and draw. 




This situation often occurs 
when each player has equal men 
on different parts of the Board ; 
Black, however, not being able 
to extricate those men, it be- 
comes a draw. 

No. 4. Either to move, Wi win. 




* JSTote. — Throughout these Critical Situations the White are 
supposed to have occupied the lower half of the Board ; their 
taen are, consequently, moving upwards.

* This situation, though it may appear simple, ought to be re- 
membered. 

t This situation is similar to the last, but White loses through 
being unable to keep the command of square 20.

* An instructive position. 

t In this situation young players make a number of useless 
moves, yet White can force the game in a few moves. Three 
kings win against two, in every position where the Black are in 
the double corners, as above. I think it necessary to name this, 
as I have heard it doubted. 

X A very neat piece of play.

it is not the less curious on that account. 

t This is the same situation as the last, but the difference of the 
result shows the consequence of a single move.

MEW-YORK : PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE, 



BOUND \riTn THE 



MERICAN ADVERTISER. 



There had long been wanting a work of character as a vehicle to mer- 
chants and manufacturers of im ore permanent announcements than are to 
"be met with in the columns of daily newspapers, as well as a reference 
work for purchasers. To supply this vacuum was the design of the 

AMERICAN ADVERTISER. 

A most natural and reasonable prejudice existed against advertising; 
w.or4cs, from the fact that 'many siioh works had sprung into existence for 
a season, and, after deceiving the public, disappeared. It was, therefore, 
perceived that some plan must be devised to elevate thecharacter of such 
a work, and ensure its wide circulation in the community. The method 
adopted was the regular publication of the American Advertiser in con- 
nection with some standard statistical work or some publication of gen- 
eral mercantile interest. The piyblishers have accordingly entered into 
arrangements by whicli they have bound, and will, for the present, con- 
*inue to bind each edition of the American Advertiser with 

**New York: Past, Present and Future," 

Satisfied that no publication is more appropriate or calculated to have a 
wider circulation among those classes whom it is designed to reach than 
this work of Mr. Belden, which, beyond question, presents statistical 
details in a more popular and attractive form than any previous worlc. 
The two works bound together are not only circulated by sale, but 
Hotels and other Pitelic; Places throtjghout thk Union 
Are supplied with copies gratuitously, according to the terms of the prosr 
pectus inserted hereafter. This undertaking has met with the mostcordiat 
approbation on thP P'^'"*^ "^ the mercantile commimity, and the 

AMERICAN ADVERTlSF.ti 

HAS BECOME A 

COMPLETE REFERENCE-BOOK FOR PURCHASERS, 

Containing the cards of merchants and manufacturers in every line of 
business.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



The Publishers desire to present the following 

EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES 

OF REVIEWS & NEWSPAPERS. 



American Revieto, March, 1850. 

In this work, Mr. Balden has furnished the traveler in New-York, a 
full statistical account of everything noticeable in the great metropolis. 
It is a complete anfl satisfactory stranger's guide. One half of the 
volume is occupied by advertisements, directing the stranger to the best 
stores and wholesale business establishments. The work is illustrated 
by splendi^ steel engravings (^f the principal buildings, and has an ex- 
cellent map of the city. Mr.,Belden's opportunities for the preparation 
of such a work, have been, to our certain knowledge, at least equal to 
those of any of our citizens. 

Democratic Review, Feb. 1850. 

The materials for this work have been derived from official sources, 

particularly from the records and documents of the city, which were 

placed by public act of the Common Council at the disposal of the 

Author, in April last. It is illustrated with fine steel engravings of the 

i;n|Ost prpminent public buildings in the metropolis, and contains a large 

amount of valuable matter. 

/ 

New-York Journal of Commerce, Dec. 29, 1849. 

While supervising the construction of the Model of New- York, Mr. 
Belden had occasion to collect, in conneption with that enterprise, avast 
number of statistical details, all of which may be styled new; because, 
of the statistics previously printed, the inaccuracy was glaring when 
compared with those thus obtained, not from guidebooks and gazetteers, 
but from original and official sources ; and because of a large proportion 
of the subjects iriv^stigated, no statistics had up to that time ever been 
compiled and published. The author perceived, therefore, that he had 
collected to his hai;id3, in great part, the most reliable materials for an 
historical and despriptive account of the city.; apd he was thus encourag- 
ed to renewed effort to perfect so valuable a collection. To this labor Mr. 
Belden has assiduously devoted several years, and has so far accomplish- 
ed his task, as to be enabled to present to the public an epitome pf the 
work he has in preparation, which compares a sucoinpt historical sketch 
Qi the city, a description of its present condition, and an estimate of its 
future increase. In respect to the present condition of New- York, the 
■^olume now before us appears to contain all tliat is desirable pc^rtainintr 



NOTICES OP THE PRESS. 



to a description of the city and its numerous objects of rational curiosity 
and interest, its population, government trade and commerce, mo;:al 
and religious condition, institutions of education and for benevolent ob- 
jects, its facilities for the cultivation of scieuce, literature, and art, etc. 
The chapter devoted to a consideration of the causes of its prosperity, 
and estimates of its future increase, is rational, well considered, and 
highly suggestive. The general appearance of the volume is tasteful 
and creditable to the publishers. The engravings are numerous, in 
general well executed, and faithful representations. On the whole it is 
a work of paramount value for reference ; and to those who become 
habituated to its use, it will seem as indispensable as an almanac. 

New-Yor'^ Express, Jan. 4, 1850. 

The author of this work, Mr. Belden, is the gentleman who projected 
and, with the assistance of eminent artists, completed the Model of Newr 
York, about which so much has been said by Uie pvess in our country \ 
and from the researches necessarily made for the purpose of construct- 
ing the Model, he is possessed of an immense fund of knowledge which 
he proposes bringing out in a large volume of which the work before us 
is an epitome. 

Attached to the volume is anew enterprise called **Th9 American 
Advertiser," designed to fill a vacuum in mercantile literature. The 
plan of each work is that each edition shall consist of one thousand 
copies, which will be bound with sorpe standard statistical work, or 
some publication of general mercantile interest, nnd will in this form be 
circulated gratuitously and by i^ale. The plan secvrns a good one, and, 
we; hope it will be successful. 

New York Tribune, February \st, 1S50. 

New-York : Past, Present and Future is by the ingenious author of 
the Model of New- York, and contains a great amount of local inlbrmaiion 
drawn from original sources and for the most part from official documents. 

Evenint^ 3Iirror, Jan. 11th, 1850. 

Mr. Belden was the prpjector of \he Model of New- York, which ex- 
cited so much admiration here some tinie since ; and lie has presented 
us in this work with a collection of liistorical facts, statistical details, 
and highly interesting particulars with regard to this city, of the most 
valuable character, and which render the work indispensable, if only for 
future reference. The records and documents of the City, were, by voto 
of the Common Council, furnished to the authc't. The work is embel- 
lished with ?ome beaUtifnlly executed engravings of most of our publi^j 
buildings, and is got uj) in n neat and tasteful style. 



NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



Neif-York Sun, Jan. 11th, 1850. 

New-York : Past, Present and Future is the title of the volume rcr 
cently issued by E. Porter Belden, the originator of tlie famous Model of 
New-York. Like his Model, this work is very accurate, and contains 
more information about this great metropolis than we have ever seen 
.comprised in one book. It is profusely illu&frated with engravings, and, 
in addition to the interesting 4escripfiye letter-press, (Contains many 
valuable statistics. 

New-York Globe, May 25th, 1850. 

New- York : Past, Present and Future, comprising a history of the 
City of New-York, a desjcription of its present condition, and an estimate 
of its future increase, by E. Porter gelden, M. A. 

The above is a work replete with useful and important statistical 
details, many of which were never given in print before its publication. 
Its statements are aU drawn from original sources, and there is no statis- 
tical information given that has not been obtained from the official papers 
of the City or the most authentic personal conimunications. A yasf 
number of pleasing historical facts are contained in the book» gathered 
from old documents. The work is well bound, beautifully printed, and 
contains excellent views of the City Hall, New- York from Governor's 
Island, and other pnibellishrppots pf interesting buildings and places 
in and around the City. 

Morning Star, Jan. Sd, 1850. 

This handsomely got-nip book contains an immense amount of 
valuable information respecting the Government, Public Institutions, 
Trade, Commerce, Charities, &c., of this great and growing metropolis. 
It will prove alike useful to the man of business and the man of leisure, 
as it is a most interesting and useful directory. 

NeW'YorJc Express, May 29^/i, 1860. 

The more this book is used as a work of reference, the more does its 
value appear. No subject of importance or interest to the merchant or 
icitizen is left untouched. It is accurate, concise and comprehensive. 
The American Advertise?, bound under the same cover, is a com- 
plete directory to the various jpercantile and manufacturing pursiiits 
pf the city.
